Ridge?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Vivian thought for a moment, then said to Luo De, \"So, should we take revenge on them as well?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I’ll go kill him.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Vivian’s eyes were sharp, \"It’s a good opportunity to test the concealment and assassination techniques I’ve learned.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"He certainly has lived long enough.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luo De’s expression turned cold.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Assassins have come to our doors?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Would Luo De not retaliate?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luo De is not stingy with his people, and when facing enemies, he would use any means for revenge.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even if it’s just suspicion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Originally, they were enemies, so there’s no need to consider a complete chain of evidence for retaliation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"No problem, I’ll go prepare now.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Vivian readily agreed, \"You get me the map of Eagle Ridge.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hmm, Chris has drawn a simple map for me.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luo De nodded and then frowned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Don’t rush, let me think.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luo De suppressed his emotions and calmed down.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Vivian was puzzled, \"What’s there to think about in a counterattack?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luo De gestured to her to be silent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Retaliation was inevitable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Vivian going so far just to kill the Hawk Count for vengeance doesn’t seem beneficial.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In fact, killing the Hawk Count seems like making a wedding dress for Baron Halon.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With the Hawk Count dead, his heirs are the ones who benefit the most.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Aside from venting anger, Luo De gains nothing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The key is that Luo De can’t use this as a bargaining chip to gain benefits from anyone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Otherwise, the assassination of the Hawk Count would inevitably be used against him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The sudden death of the Hawk Count, Baron Halon probably won’t sit idly by, surely causing chaos in Eagle Ridge...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Perhaps there’s an opportunity to fish in troubled waters.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luo De slightly smiled and said to Vivian, \"Tomorrow, I’ll first have Durant make some preparations, then you can take action.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After chaos erupts in Eagle Ridge, perhaps Luo De can send people to \"take a scoop of the stew.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At worse, they could capture some slaves to work.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You’re the Lord, you decide.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Vivian shrugged indifferently.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Go rest now, there are other things to do tomorrow.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luo De waved his hand to urge her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The three returned to the house, but none of them could sleep.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Outside, it was brightly lit.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>All the guards were awakened, Durant, Gang Le, and Rein all came to the manor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everyone learned general information from the Guard Captain, though not the details of what happened inside.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This unknown assassination left everyone worried.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But no one dared to enter the house to disturb Luo De, and could only send people to strengthen the manor’s guard.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And Durant had to instruct the guards not to spread the news of the night to avoid causing panic.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The next morning.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When Luo De saw everyone appear before him with dark faces, he realized they hadn’t slept all night.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Pull yourselves together, didn’t I survive?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luo De barked, then recounted the events of the previous night, leaving the three stunned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Such an assassination easily breaches our defenses, my Lord.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Durant solemnly said, \"So please let Miss Vivian stay with you at all times in the future.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yes!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gang Le exclaimed from the side, \"We can’t afford to lose you!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hmm.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luo De nodded slightly, \"We’ll arrange it this way for the time being.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But he needed to cultivate the Extraordinary in the territory in advance to deal with those unknown enemies.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I’ve already written the letter to the Dawn Society, Durant, have the previous guard run another errand.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yes, Lord Baron.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Durant responded respectfully.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Additionally,\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luo De looked at the three, instructing,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Organize a team of a hundred, requiring strong mobility, quick actions, with the main task being raiding.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Only the three of you need to know about this for now, don’t spread it.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luo De specifically instructed, \"Organize it as soon as possible, ready at any time.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yes, Lord Baron\u002FMy Lord!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The three answered in unison.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Alright, no need to be so tense.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luo De instructed, \"Avril will give you a sketch of the assassin from last night, see if anyone in the territory has seen him.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"But don’t be too public about it, investigate quietly.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luo De said casually.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In truth, Luo De didn’t think they could find any clues.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When he saw Avril’s first draft, it didn’t look human at all.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The deformed face was covered with red lines, like protruding blood vessels.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The forehead bulged with a lump, the mouth was askew, and the nose drooped on the face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This abnormal person, if they had appeared in town before, would have definitely attracted attention.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After giving instructions, Luo De dismissed the three, telling them to go rest well.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Three days later, Milly woke up from her sleep, allowing Luo De to breathe a sigh of relief.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The first thing the relieved little girl did was ask Luo De for some sweets.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luo De naturally couldn’t break his promise.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luo De had Lawrence clear out a room, maintaining a suitable temperature inside, then bring in three barrels of wheat and seven barrels of rye, along with plenty of clean water.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He instructed the slaves to clean the wheat and rye thoroughly, soaking them in warm water for two days, changing the water three times a day.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After soaking, they were to scoop out the grains, spread them evenly on wooden boards covered with straw mats, spraying and turning them daily.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This process would take a week, and Luo De didn’t have time to wait.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luo De arranged for Otto and Avril to supervise the slaves handling the grains, while he took Vivian, Gang Le, and Rein to the underground ruins of the salt mine.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luo De wanted to quickly verify if the sequence Milly provided was correct.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Three days later.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After a journey, Luo De returned to the ruins beneath the salt mine, accompanied by Vivian and five captured soldiers.\u003C\u002Fp>",985,"2026-05-30T15:19:45.195Z","2026-06-01T04:31:34.172Z",1,"novelbin.me","ab20e2c711313b4aa56e39989e2d19aa94834eeccfb73b4c1bdf3f276144ac84","farming-with-entries-from-lord-to-emperor-chapter-179","farming-with-entries-from-lord-to-emperor-chapter-177",776,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Ffarming-with-entries-from-lord-to-emperor-cover.jpg"]
